Recognizing the Obvious

1. The Search

I am always amazed when I hear people claim that Airport security has to search Whites because they are not allowed to do racial profiling. The trouble with this rationale is the assumption that the searches serve an underlying meaningful purpose,  which is to search Arab terrorists, and that searching Whites is merely an additional “cost” we impose on ourselves to demonstrate our racial benevolence.

The State of Israel, confronted as it is with a very high risk of retaliatory violence, profiles and searches only a very small subset of Arabs – those who come to the attention of their intelligence agencies for professing, through speech or conduct, obvious markers of probable intent to carry out attacks.

That is exactly how a nation under real threat operates if its purpose is to prevent attacks.

So obviously, U.S. airport security must have a larger and more comprehensive purpose than merely stopping terrorism. For the multicultural true believer, the searching of Whites at airports is a convenient, state sponsored, taxpayer financed opportunity for them to engage in a spectacularly wasteful public display of their moral superiority.

And the fact that there has never been a single instance of White terrorist activity in an airplane makes the display all the more powerful. The removal of all traces of practical utility renders the symbolic content absolute, pure and unmistakable.

What most observers of the contemporary scene miss entirely is the simple fact that this display (financed at your expense) would confer no status whatsoever if all races performed the same self effacing ritual. At bottom, for the multicultural true believer, the airport search is a race-specific display of their moral superiority—the one form of white supremacy they really care about, and the one form of white supremacy that the Jews joyously tolerate, as the race which it fears most destroys itself at its own expense.

One might argue that these conspicuous displays of racial generosity might be intended to blunt the anger of Muslims whose nations we are invading. But Muslims are not fooled by any of this. Indeed, given the fact that Christianity is as dead as a dodo (if not hated outright) by and among the elites who run this country, the “Crusader” label used by the Muslim nations makes sense only if they see these self righteous public displays for exactly what they are: the moral and ideological justification for a race-smothering, culture-destroying crusade to produce a single, world wide, homogenized race of human consumers for the globalist economic engine.

While the irrationality of the airport search might appeal to the Mrs. Jellyby (of Bleak House fame) in the gentile multicultural true believer, it is clear that the paranoid architects of the policy at Homeland Security have no such illusions. It is the murderous, pogrom-inclined, white gentile who is the real target.

Never mind that there has never been a pogrom in the U.S. There is always a pogrom lurking below the surface; and for those who set policy at Homeland Security and their ethnic kinsmen to feel safe, they must begin to condition the great white gentile herd to accept being searched randomly and for no apparent reason.

They must be searched so often and so regularly that being searched feels ordinary and natural to them.

After all, using the public infrastructure of the air traffic system is a privilege and not a right, and thus by using that public infrastructure, you give up your rights under the Fourth Amendment and must submit to a search.

But then the same argument will apply just as well to the public infrastructure of our public highways and public sidewalks. Once the glass tower and air travel-using gentile population is conditioned to submit to constant searches and pat downs, it is only a matter of time before the searches and pat downs leap the firewall of the airport and infiltrate down to the train stations, the bus stops, the highways and the sidewalks.

2. The Texas Chicken Run

The Texas legislature passed a law criminalizing as sexual assault any Airport security officer’s touching of the private parts of an airline passenger.

Homeland Security then threatens to shut down all the airports in Texas.

Then Governor Perry causes his Lieutenant Governor to veto the bill.

What a moron!!

There is no way that Homeland Security would shut down all the Airports in Texas. The Airlines would have screamed bloody murder and would provoke Congress to intervene and make Homeland Security back off.

Texas has a huge amount of arrival and destination air traffic as well as two or three times that amount to hub transfer traffic. Shutting down Texas would have disrupted nearly a third of the airline traffic in the U.S.

Besides, criminalizing genital groping by Airport security was largely symbolic in any event. County prosecutors would have a serious problem with scienter if they had attempted to bring any actual criminal prosecutions under that act. Guards ordered to search people as part of their jobs do not normally intend to assault or sexually molest those they search by touching their private parts.

Governor Perry should have called Homeland Security’s bluff.

They would have caved.

It is clear that states do not understand the scope of their power to shape national policy. For example, no state has yet figured out that they can easily recoup banker bailout bonus money attributable to the bank’s share of the bank’s revenue derived from that state simply by taxing the bank on that state’s slice of the bailout revenue.

Similarly, the states can impose an income surtax, or an excise tax, on revenues produced in the state with the amount of the tax based on the number of U.S. Jobs destroyed and moved overseas.

These taxes would be wildly popular politically. Imagine the Federal U.S. Attorney having to sue to block a tax that protects the American worker from having his job exported to China!

Rather than enacting a criminal statute, Texas should have imposed an excise tax, just like they impose on cigarettes, gasoline and liquor, on any person who gropes another person’s genitals or breasts in a public place – no scienter problem at all. The U.S. Attorney would have a devil’s time challenging an excise tax under the Supremacy Clause, and the challenge would be litigated in the Fifth Circuit, where the Court of Appeals would be sympathetic to the State’s position.

The problem at the state level is two fold.

First, most of the legislators are people who could not make it in law practice and simply want a job. They are risk averse.

Second, they rely on political consultants who were taught as undergraduates that to maximize consulting revenue, you must maximize the political contribution take of your politician clients from special interests. Protecting the average middle class voter is at best a waste of time and effort if your objective is to raise special interest money. And more often than not will be seen as a threat by those special interests.

Once again, you get risk aversion.

Until we get very intelligent volunteer legislative analysts educating the mediocrities that inhabit our state legislatures, America will continue down its current path.
